Just-in-time data provision based on predicted cache policies

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable mediums are provided for predicting a cache policy based on usage patterns. Usage pattern data can be received and used with a predictive model to determine a cache policy associated with a datastore. The cache policy can identify the configuration of predicted output data to be provisioned in the datastore and subsequently provided to a client in a just-in-time manner. The predictive model can be trained to output the cache policy based on usage pattern data received from a usage point, a provider point, or a datastore configuration.

The invention claimed is:
